Dan Gookin Testing Political Waters?

Is Dan Gookin tipping up to the lake’s edge to dip his toe in the water, testing for another possible run at the Coeur d’Alene City Council. A comment DanG made on the Coeur d’Alene Press site seems to lean that way: “If I were to run again in the Fall, an announcement would be more appropriately made in a mid-summer time frame, say August.  I’m still singed by the nasty campaign against me in 2009. Given the innuendo cast in the recent SD271 Trustee race, I doubt whether anyone is eager now to get into the political fray. Still, in my opinion, the City Council remains arrogant and dismissive of a great portion of the public, not to mention their neglectful attitude toward fiscal responsibility.” He goes on to say that he’ll support change in the status quo, if he’s not a candidate. But “I have not ruled out another run.”

Question: Would Dan Gookin win if he ran this fall for the Coeur d’Alene City Council?
